A good primer offers several benefits for painting surfaces. It helps paint adhere better, ensures truer color, and allows for the use of less paint. Moreover, a primer covers existing stains and odors, and also blocks the formation of new ones.

KILZ Original, an oil-based primer, is designed to block a wide range of stains, including those caused by water, smoke, tannin, ink, pencil, felt marker, and grease. It also effectively seals pet and smoke odors. This versatile primer can be used on a variety of interior surfaces, such as wood, drywall, plaster, paneling, wallpaper, masonry, brick, painted metal, and properly prepared glossy surfaces. However, it is not recommended for use on flooring.

When preparing the surface for application, it is important to ensure that it is free of dust, grease, chalk, rust, and peeling paint. The primer should be well-mixed before use and can be applied with a brush, roller, or spray. KILZ Original is particularly suitable for walls or ceilings with medium to severe stains. For a water-based equivalent, KILZ Max is a recommended option.

KILZ Original oil-based primer dries to the touch in 30 minutes and can be recoated or top-coated after one hour. This 1-quart can of KILZ Original covers approximately 300-400 square feet per gallon on interior surfaces in white.

KILZ has been a trusted brand in the premium primers and paints industry for over 40 years. In 2015, KILZ was named the Paint Brand of the Year in the Harris Poll EquiTrend Rankings, recognizing the company's commitment to quality and innovation.
